Characterization of MHD convective flow of Jeffrey nanofluid driven by a curved stretching surface by employing Darcy–Forchheimer law of porosity

Abstract

The mathematical modeling of Jeffrey nanofluid flow driven by a curved stretching sheet, by employing Darcy–Forchheimer law of porosity with thermal radiation, chemical reaction and convective heat, and mass boundary conditions, has been made. The flow anchored partial differential equations are dealt with similarity variables to switch them to simple ordinary differential equations. Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg 45th-order method, a viable numerical tactic, was availed to extract numerical solutions for the considered problem. While performing a numerical procedure to obtain numerical solutions for all flow fields against concerning parameters, all other parameters have been fixed to their standard values. Furthermore, to discuss the results obtained, various plots are drawn using numerical extractions. Here, the study reveals that an enhancement in Deborah number increases velocity panel, whereas upliftment in relaxation time to retardation time ratio shows opposite behavior. Also, with an increase in Forchheimer’s number, the velocity panel decreases. Furthermore, the Biot numbers have an increasing influence on thermal and concentration fields, respectively. Schmidt number () and chemical reaction parameter () increase, then the concentration panel () declines.
